Step 1
We’ll build a pentagon that you’ll learn to draw from a few smaller shapes in this pentagon tutorial.
Your best bet for this drawing is to use a ruler and pencil to draw the shapes before moving on to using a pen.
Using a ruler will be helpful not only in making sure the edges align, but also in making sure that the line segments are of equal length.
Using your ruler, you can start by drawing a triangle. The reference image we have provided will guide you in its shape, size and position. Once you’ve drawn this first triangle, you’re ready for step 2!
Step 2 – Next, add another triangle for your pentagon drawing
For the second part of the pentagon, you will continue to build the entire shape.
To do this, simply use your ruler to draw a second triangle over the other triangle as shown in our reference image. By the time the two are together, it will be like a pyramid.
Step 3 – Now, draw a third triangle
A third triangle will be added in this step of our how to draw a pentagon tutorial. This triangle will be on the right side of the pyramid you ended up with in the previous step.
That should only be a few more spaces to fill, and we’ll do so in the next few steps of this tutorial, so keep it up!
Step 4 – Next, draw a triangle for the base of your pentagon
You’ve drawn some more triangles for the last few steps of your pentagon drawing, and this step should be no different!
This shape will fill in the gap that makes up the base of the pentagon, as shown in our reference image. With the triangle added, all that remains is to fill in the last position.
Step 5 – Fill in the remaining space of the pentagon
Before you move on to the final coloring step of this pentagon tutorial, you just need to add one more triangle to it.
This is the easiest of them all, as all you need to complete this step is add one more line to the shape.
With that your pentagon is done! When finished, it will look as if this is a pentagonal cake cut into various pieces.
Your pentagon is technically complete, but before you move on, there are a few things you can do to put your own spin on it!
First, if you’ve been drawing pentagons with a pencil, this would be a great time to start redrawing the pencil lines with a pen if you’d like.
You can also take one of the shapes to look like a missing slice, or paint some more line or pattern detail onto the pieces of the pentagon.
If you’re feeling a bit creative and ambitious, you can look up pictures of the Pentagon building and change its shape to look like the famous structure!
These are just a few of the many ideas you can make for this drawing, so make sure to let your creativity flow and see what you can come up with.
Step 6 – Now finish your pentagon with some colors
Now that you’ve completed your pentagon drawing, this final step will be to bring it to life with some awesome colors.
In our reference image we used some nice bright colors, but this is just one of the many ways you can color this.
You can keep one color for all the slices of the pentagon, or add more colors to them.
If you have added details or patterns to the pentagon, they will give you the opportunity to add even more color variations.
Choosing colors is only part of the fun, as you can also experiment with different art media and tools!
You can use acrylic paint or crayons and markers if you want to reproduce the bright look of our images. How do you think you would color in your wonderful pentagon?
